Music manager question:

Can we also agree to stop saying Zelda wrote The Great Gatsby and other works of her husband? And that Ted Hughes might have written a lot of his own work, too?

Stats. When my son’s coach asked me to track shots on and against it took all of my energy away from reacting to the ref and focused it on getting an accurate picture of the game. I tried an app on my phone (fail) and drew on the back of a receipt (success), but I stopped hectoring.

Be a referee is the best advice.

Howard Dean. 50 State Strategy.

I hate the term “white privilege” because it assumes that having a working justice system and not getting shot are anything but a right. The system works for white males—that’s not a privilege but an expectation—the problem is it doesn’t work as much for others.

How do Brady’s backups do?

I’m assume bern10 is a moniker for 8 of my friends. Is that you, Chris?

It’s not the out-dated views, but the unwillingness to look at them and grow.

This whole show should be boiled down into five episodes from ten: Focus on her career and her parents. Midge is great (she’s the star), but Susie is the show. Their relationship should be everything, with the parents as foils.

Flacco, Eli Manning, Alex Smith and their lot prove that football is a team sport as they are mere role players.

In my mind, that’s part of the school budget. When schools pay for basic supplies with fundraising (or teachers pay out of…

It’s one thing for the Bills to not see Taylor as their quarterback of the future, as though some pro-style, pocket-passing unicorn will be so much easier to find next year.

This was an intensely embarrassing display.

I wanted to like Dunham when she broke, but the tattoos. Some people have tattoos that express, while others just seem needy—so I guess her’s do express everything I needed to know.

From her statement, it felt like she begged off the kiss. Plus, when she relented to practice the kiss he then forced his tongue into her mouth. It all seems like a power move, not him having a specific move and motivation for the scene and her just being a difficult actor. In this instance, he seems like a jerk.

Two things:

Her own description clears it up—not just the act, but her disgust. He forced his tongue into her mouth, after she repeatedly said she didn’t want to practice a basic stage kiss. I was ready to write it off as overblown, but I found it disgusting. Listen to her tell it.
